The Scientific Program Committee, overseen by APA's Office of Scientific Program within the Division of Education, evaluates abstract submissions for the Annual Meeting and curates the scientific program. Nearly 2,000 abstracts were submitted by some of the most brilliant minds in mental health. The program is set to include approximately 500 scientific sessions, four plenary sessions, and 1,000+ posters. The committee is instrumental in recommending and assembling key invited speakers, as well as new offerings, to produce the meeting's high-caliber educational content.
